Nature’s wrath: incredible landslide
This video shows a large mud slide at Johnson’s Landing in British Columbia. Watch the video and note two things. Notice how close the crew in the small boat were in their escape. If they had left it even just a few more seconds it could have been very nasty. Secondly, pretend you don’t know […]
Must watch: Bendito Machine
This is the fourth Bendito Machine episode. You might spot something that looks like the Shell logo in it. The world of Bendito Machine is one in which a clumsy species relies on their machines, can’t live without them, and are guided by greedy bastards who think they know everything – but don’t.

This wine bottle holder is channels Wizard of Oz style witch fashion. The colourful mashup of orange laces with green stripes on the heel ensures that this witches shoe is seen as the piece of fun its supposed to be.

The danger of our oil economy
This is an interesting video – after all, it’s not pro “tree” or green and even takes a bash at “treehuggers”. However it presents a factual look at how oil is so interwoven in our economy that we’ve created a system the planet cannot support. The result? We need a third industrial revolution if we […]
The 2012 Supermoon may wash out the Eta Aquarid meteors – but when?
This weekend will see a “super” moon. A supermoon happens when the moon is full and in perigee. This means the moon is at it’s closest approach point to the Earth. The moon and Earth have elliptical orbits and so are different distances apart at different times of the year. The moon may appear to […]
